NEW VAULT COCKTAIL BAR PLANNED FOR BRIGG TOWN CENTRE ESTABLISHES A PRESENCE

A Facebook page called The Vault Brigg - categorised as a cocktail bar restaurant - was created on Friday (March 19) and this online presence is now gaining followers, one of whom suggests it will be nice to have "a classier place."

This page features a picture of the frontage of former HSBC bank premises in the Market Place for which listed building consent has now been granted by North Lincolnshire Council.
The local authority has yet to make public its decision on an accompanying planning application for the same building and today (Sunday) this application's status remains 'not yet determined' as it has since last October.
However, Brigg Blog expects the local authority's planning decision to be announced shortly.
Revealing the granting of listed building consent (dated March 18) for 27 Market Place, the council has agreed to change of use of the ground floor to a licenced bar and conversion of the upper floors to two apartments and offices, including associated alterations.
A condition states: "The works must be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this consent."
A detailed delegated assessment of the application by council planners concluded: "The proposal represents a sustainable adaptive reuse of the listed building and the minimal physical works are considered acceptable."
The prominent former bank building is grade two listed and within the Brigg Conservation Area.
